And we have number five!

Today I found an upper tooth breaking through! So Hannah is working on her fifth tooth. HOw exciting for us all! ha!
So I went to visiot my chiropractor today about my back pain. We both decided it was a good idea to do new x-rays to see if there are any changes form the break of 2006. Unfortunately I won't hear anything for a few days. They hooked me up to the electric stim again and put a moist heat pad on top. Again I had a short cat nap during treatment. The assistant was nice enough to leave me be for an extra 10 minutes after the buzzer went off. I think she knew I've been missing out on some serious sleep lately. How nice of her!

We have a tooth!

Hannah had her fourth tooth break through the skin yesterday. I wondered if she had another one coming because she had begun drooling again a few days ago. She's also cralwing all over the place. She's very curious and even picks little pieces of whatever she finds on the floor as she goes. Who needs a vacuum when you have a kiddie picker upper? Something else she enjoys doing is sitting with her book in her lap and actually turning the pages! It was kind of cool to see her do that at such a young age. So now that she's moving, we are all a bit more tired!

We didn't dress Hannah up for Halloween this year. I thought she was too young. Really, it would have just been for us as we didn't go out for any parties. Next year though....should be fun and I can't wait!

Tomorrow I head for a consultation with my chiropractor. I think we are going to have new x-rays taken of the old fracture in my back. It's been botherings me really bad the last two weeks. Enough to make me sick after working in the barn. My chiro thinks I might have some settling and possibly a probelm with the disk. So we shall see tomorrow!
Tuesday I go for a much needed haircut and touch up on my highlights. They were able to squeek me in last minute which I'm eternally greatful for.....we are having family pictures taken on wednesday and I'd rather not walk in there with hay in my hair as I do on a normal day! I'm pretty excited for these pics. Hannah has a few new outfits that are super cute. Now what will mommy wear??

9 month check up

Hannah turned 9 months old last wednesday. So we had a check up at her doctor's office that day. She's 21 pounds and 13 ounces and 30 1/2 inches tall! The doc said she's the tallest baby of this age in her clnic. She had a iron test done (finger prick) and everything looks good. Doc asked me if we were having any problems so I told her that Hannah had been sick with a stuffy/runny nose and that her sleep schedule had changed for the worse. She found that Hannah had an ear infeciton in both ears. While it's not a bad one, it's still enough to bother her when she's laying flat. Now it all makes sense because she would even get upset when I'd lay her down to change her diaper. So far she's doing better on her meds so hopefully she will start sleeping better because I'm now getting sick AGAIN from being run down. She was still napping well in the mornings and afternoon so she's been in a pretty good mood even with her cold.
Yesterday I picked up a cute sweater and skirt for her for our family pictures on wednesday. Can't wait to see her in it.

Just my biased opinion...

Mom came to visit for the weekend. I threw a surprise 60th birthday party for my mother-in-law so she wanted to be here for it. She hadn't seen Hannah in two months and brought a few really cute outfits for her. One of which Hannah HAD to wear to the party as most of the people there have horses. So she was all dolled up and we took the opportunity to get a few pictures.
Hannah started crawling while Mom was here. She'd been toying with getting up on her knees for a few days but finally took off across the living room yesterday for the first time. Now the real fun begins!! I'm already tired from lack of sleep and now I see I will have even less rest! Anyone want to remind me what it's like to string 8 stright hours of uninterupted sleep together?

Anyway, I am still having oodles of fun with this precious little one. It's okay to think your baby is the world's cutest right? I'm sure most mothers feel that way.

Awwww....crap......

My new horse is sore. REAL sore. Great. So I took him for x-rays today. Bad, bad news. His feet are a mess, old fracture, severe arthritis, navicular changes, bone spurs. He will never be sound enough to be more than a drugged occasional trail horse. I'm so bummed about this. What a nice horse he is too. So his previous trainer is going to take him back. I just hope he find him a good home and doesn't send him off on the meat man's truck.....*sigh*

New dress....New Horse.....

Hannah and I went shopping the other day for a holiday dress she could wear for christmas pictures. I found a really cute red velvet dress with a rhinestone and ribbon bow on it. She has white tights and black patent leather shoes. I can't wait for her pictures on the 5th of November!

Also, I brought a new horse home from the track last night. I'm planning on sending him down to VA to my friend for training and to sell. He's HUGE, standing much taller than my head (17+ hands). He seems like a nice horse. His racing name is "All The Facts." but he needs a barn name. Any suggestions?

Friday Night Funny

I snagged this off a BB I am a member of. It was too good not to share....

Young Chuck, moved to Texas and bought a Donkey from a farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the Donkey the next day. The next day he drove up and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the donkey died.'
Chuck replied, 'Well, then just give me my money back.'
The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I went and spent it already.'
Chuck said, 'Ok, then, just bring me the dead donkey.'
The farmer asked, 'What ya gonna do with him?'
Chuck said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.'
The farmer said, 'You can't raffle off a dead donkey!'
Chuck said, 'Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead.'
A month later, the farmer met up with Chuck and asked, 'What happened with that dead donkey?'
Chuck said, 'I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $898.00.'
The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?'
Chuck said, 'Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.'
Chuck now works for the government.
